Azur 2007 Proprietary Red - 93 pts Wine Enthusiast 11/1/2010 A beautiful wine both in flavor and structure, an all-important combination. Shows rich, classy blackberries and cherries that are almost flamboyant until they’re tamed by firm tannins and a nice bite of acidity. Lots of smoky oak adds the perfect detail of caramel. Lovely now and for the next five years, at the very least. Syrah-Bordeaux blend of thefirst order. — S.H. (11/1/2010) — 93

2009 Azur Rose - Dailygrape.com   - An almost coppery kind of rose shade, with a little hint of strawberry and rose petal on the nose. Wonderful acidity... this is yum-yum city. Kudos to Azur for allowing me to believe that there's real potential for rose in California. At the time of tasting, I don't know this wine's price point but if it's under $25, it's making a push for one of the best domestic premium roses I've ever had. Gary Vaynerchuck.
